[libvirt] PATCH: 0/25: Full thread support for libvirt public API

This patch series is (mostly) aimed at providing full support for threads
in the libvirt API. Specifically we remove the restriction that a single
virConnectPtr is tied to a thread. Multiple threads can safely use the
same object (provided one doesn't free it behind another's back :-P )

This is tested to compile on Linux + Win32 (MinGW), hopefully doesn't
break Solaris, but I'll be testing that soon too.

I've tortured the patches in various nasty ways are they're now stable
enough to let loose and probably merge for wider testing. It'll probably
be easier to just fix future problems in tree, rather than maintain this
patchset longer.

The full patchset is also available here
